When The Water Comes Back On


The water went out in my building a few months ago - it does that every now and then. Once it was a sinkhole nearby, and another times, it was a broken water main. When the water comes back on, the whole building explodes with gurgling sounds; it sounds like the building is alive with bubbling, gurgling, burbling sounds. It's always a little scary, but then the water comes back on and it's like, "yay."

Here're the lyrics:

The whole building shakes with a bubbling, bilious sound

My place had a water outage
I hates that - it made me pout – Fudge!!
A few months ago, water did not flow
And I said, “oh, no:” Homer would say, “Doh!”
Where'd the water go???
No water was in my building
I was not sure when I'll be filling
Up my toilet tank, and I will be frank – my poor heart sank
The opposite of dank: My faucets were blank

When the water comes back on
When the water comes back on
The whole building shakes with a bubbling, bilious sound

It was a broken water main
A ways away; that's what I'm sayin'
It ruined my day; how long will I stay
In water-less ways? And I am dismayed – water's what I crave
At 2 AM, I was praying
When water came in, I said, “Amen”
It came with a sound, it was all around
At first, I frowned – coming from the ground, growling like a hound

When the water comes back on
When the water comes back on
The whole building shakes with a bubbling, bilious sound

The building sounded like a monster
Would it explode? I was not sure
Gurgling in the walls, filling up the halls,

It sounded like calls from a monster-ball – and I was all
Apprehensive, with all the bubbling
These sounds were ever so troubling
But the noises stopped, and I felt on top of the world when drops
Came out of the faucet – the water plopped

When the water comes back on
When the water comes back on
The whole building shakes with a bubbling, bilious sound

The water is dripping and dropping
From the faucets, and it is plopping
And I can say it is the best thing
This water is surely a blessing
